Dr. Maggie Jack

Ethnographic researcher of technology and work in a global context

I am an Industry Assistant Professor in the Department of Technology, Culture, and Society at NYU Tandon. I am also affiliated faculty in NYU’s Department of Anthropology.

My first book Media Ruins: Cambodian Postwar Media Reconstruction and the Geopolitics of Technology was recently published in the Labor and Technology series at the MIT Press (Katie Helke, editor; Winifred Poster, series editor). It is available for purchase and is available open source through MIT Press’s Direct to Open initiative.

I have a PhD in Information Science from Cornell University, an MPhil in the History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Cambridge, and a BA in History and Science from Harvard College. In previous lives, I worked in the international development sector and as a financial analyst in the technology-media-telecom sector in Silicon Valley.
